Practice question
A charity club gives a public performance solely for its educational purpose, charges no admission for it, has no profit-making aim, and satisfies the applicable regulatory and statutory limitations. It is told Section 184.1(i) can never apply because an audience is present. Resolve.
- Every audience necessarily excludes the statutory limitation.
- The paragraph expressly addresses qualifying public performance or public communication; an audience alone does not defeat it.
- Only private ownership of the building determines copyright liability.
- A club automatically acquires every performed work's copyright.
- The provision permits any commercial concert whenever one charity attends.
